Merry, Sam, and Pippin now clothed themselves in spare garments from their packs; and they soon felt too hot, for they were obliged to put on some of the thicker and warmer things that they had brought against the oncoming of winter.'Where does that other old animal, that Fatty Lumpkin, come from?' asked Frodo.

The Hands and Faces

The models are all undercoated in black as usual. The hands and faces were all painted using the same technique. I always paint my models faces and skin areas first, this was done by painting the skin areas Ratskin Flesh and then washed using Reikland Fleshshade. Once dry this was then high lighted again with Ratskin Flesh and then Kislev Flesh.
